i know you're all dying to know. so, i'll tell you: we decided to get both the dog and the cat! once you've all picked yourselves off the floor with shock (i am not a dog person), i hope you'll be ok! haha

the dog's name is zorro, and we'll probably keep it. the cat is named pia, which i don't like very much, but we're not coming up with anything better. if anyone has suggestions, please leave them in the comments!

zorro will be joining us on sunday. there will be a two week trial period, to see if he adjusts to us, and if he'll work out for our family. cross your fingers!

I went around work today asking all the J people if they new of any pounds or shelters in our area b/c I was really ready for a kitten. After lunch one of my co-workers came around and said she'd gotten an e-mail from a friend in another office across base who had three stray kittens! I went immediately and got one! Now to find our puppy...
